We have generated transgenic rice plants expressing the Datura stramonium adc gene and investigated their response to drought stress. We monitored the steady-state mRNA levels of genes involved in polyamine biosynthesis (Datura adc, rice adc, and rice samdc) and polyamine levels. Wild-type plants responded to the onset of drought stress by increasing endogenous putrescine levels, but this was i...

Background and Objective: Datura stramonium L. is a medicinal herb from the family of Solanaceae. It has been used in herbal remedies for promoting health and treating several diseases. The current study was set up to compare the effects of Datura stramonium L. extract on the naloxone-precipitated opiate-withdrawal in mice. Materials and Methods: Male BALB/c mice (30–35 g, n = 40) were arbitra...

Aim: Evaluation of effect shodhana process datura seed (Datura stramonium) antioxidant activity. Methods: The was purified with two different processes viz. cow’s urine, and milk by Dolayantra method. Antioxidant activity evaluated in-vitro 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging Ferric reducing power ability (FRPA) assay. Result: cow urine (CUD) showed a significant in inhibi...

the present study is a designed protocol for investigation of the analgesic effect of oral and intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of alcoholic datura stramonium (ds) seed extract as a rich source of alkaloid substances. male nmri rats were divided into control and treatment groups. the treatment rats received different doses of the ds seed extract, which was prepared from alcoholic smashed s...
